Vecoplan AG, Germany, has unveiled its VRZ series of preshredders for processing residential and commercial scrap, promising efficient, yet low-maintenance, operation to break up and shred bulky materials. VRZ preshredders:

  • use a rotor with armored, sickle-shaped ripping teeth for safer operation that also can shred materials laden with extraneous items
  • feature a HiTorc drive that has no mechanical components
  • have replaceable sealing elements at the rotor and side wall to prevent materials from becoming lodged between the front surface of the rotor and machine housing
  • allow customers to choose from several configuration options, such as cutting units and rotors

Erema Group GmbH, Austria, has released its EcoGentle plasticizing technology. The unit reduces energy consumption when used in conjunction with the company’s Vacurema Basic 2628 T system to produce recycled polyethylene terephthalate (rPET) pellets. The EcoGentle:

  • combines with Erema’s Counter Current technology to improve the interaction between the intake section and extruder screw on the system for optimized compression ratios that ensure better feeding performance
  • allows for other rheological optimizations that help result in a more homogeneous melt and a wider process window, making it easier to compensate for fluctuations in the input material without negatively impacting process stability
  • features a lower temperature that allows for a gentler melting process and achieves lower acetaldehyde values for higher-quality rPET pellets
